Justin Bieber took to the Today Show today to deny paternity claims from Mariah Yeater. Not only that; he says he has never met the woman!

The pop star has hit back at the paternity suit filed by the 20-year-old fan this week and says that all her allegations are false. Well, they must be, if he’s never met her!

Host Matt Lauer was quick to point out that although there’s a lot of good stuff that comes with being a celebrity like Justin Bieber, there is also a lot of unwelcome attention too. He then reminded everyone how Yeater has filed court papers to claim that she and Justin Bieber had an unprotected, 30-second sexual encounter in a backstage bathroom at the Staples Center in Los Angeles following an October 2010 show.

Bieber was unabashed.

“I’m gonna be a target, but I’m never gonna be a victim,” he stated categorically.

In fact, Bieber said that he doesn’t even spend time backstage at shows, as he goes “right from the stage to my car.”

He dubbed the paternity claim as “crazy” and stated again how he had never met Mariah Yeater.

The mother of 3-month-old old Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater, who was born July 6 is taking Justin Bieber to court for a child support hearing scheduled for December 15. But Justin Bieber has never even met the woman, he claims.

So if that is the case, and there was no meeting, no sex, so he can’t be Mariah Yeater’s baby daddy, why hasn’t Justin Bieber taken a paternity test already? Just sayin’…
